The last position change I made was for better vacation opportunities. My old boss (who never took vacations) didn't believe my explanations for leaving.

Had a friend do some creative road repair. His alternator failed him. He returned with another car & driver, swapped batteries, jumped the dead battery in the car with the good alternator. Drove till dead alternator car quit, while the dead battery was charging up with the good alternator, kept repeating process till he got home.
